Shemara Wikramanayake

Wikramanayake led the global financial services group to another record-breaking year, with profits of $3.5 billion, up 56% over fiscal 2021’s then best-ever financials. Those results owe to growth across all four of the diversified firm’s operating businesses, which span six continents and activities including asset management, retail banking, renewables development, and capital raising. Its commodities and global markets unit provided an especially big boost.
